On order 2010 Yaris AbRed 5 door HB

[127.0.0.1]

Ok, I have a 99 4runner limited I have owned since 1998.

This thing is the shiznat and will always be the shiznat. But I travel a lot and get 19-21 mpg according to scangauge, and I only really need the 4runner when I am woods stomping, which is once a month....not daily...


So....econobox time. Was gonna get a FIT but the Honda dealers around me suck, and my local Toyota dealer is the bomb. Everyone loves him, and with the reliability of my 4runner, I decided to stick with Toyota.

Anyhow, Oct 5th my Yaris should arrive and it is:

5 door HB, auto, cold weather and power package. 15 inch steel wheels

I plan on adding myself: cruise control (hopefully the control-stick-only method)
and a center armrest, slapping Scangauge II on it, and my Garmin Nuvi.

I also plan on keeping this thing forever just like my 4runner.

I drove a Yaris last year as a dealer 19 buck-a-day rental when the 4runner was in the shop getting new brakes. It seemed perfectly fine to me, and I sorta like a mini-car that has a huge aftermarket following...not that I plan
on fancying it up, but it is nice to know there are a zillion mods already out there.

I will also be ripping the rear seats completely out and seeing if I can stuff my Surly Pugsley
in there w/o taking the wheels off. That will be a tetris puzzle I am sure.

anyhow, I will be posting real world scangauge numbers for my mpg results.
